For trades, open to anything... although I'm primarily interested in orthos and/or interesting/comfy shells that I can transplant drivers into (looking for an Ultrasone Pro series, or maybe a Beats Studio/Pro).

or a nice balanced dac

or amps

or DIY stuff.

or a dap to replace my aging fuze

Whatever, I'm open to offers.

edit: actually I'm looking to downgrade and clear out some stuff. PM me for what I have as I cycle through a lot of stuff.

edit2: looking for an HE-500, also a Beyer COP for transplant potential: actually kinda interested in a SenneiserHD800 (or maybe even the HD600/650) and maybe those new Philips Fidelio L2

edit3: or if people want me to do any transplants (see my sig for links), shoot me a pm

edit 4: you know, I'm kinda interested in a FiiO E09k

edit 5? kinda looking for a Centrance HiFi-M8

Please keep in mind that I live in Canada. This affects shipping and what I'm willing to accept since stuff is generally harder/more expensive to acquire up here. I don't mind shipping outside Canada/US, but shipping costs are very high for anything with tracking. Seriously, we're talking ~$100+ just for the shipping when sending overseas.

Hifiman HE-6

- upgraded with Norse Audio 8 strand braided cable into 4-pin XLR (this cable is hardwired; it is not optional)

- great condition, comes with XLR to 1/4" adapter, original leather(?) box

edit: putting this on hold for the moment unless someone just wants to throw gobs of money at me, because these cost a crapton to bring into the country

edit: I actually have four different modded ones right now only one left; these are just here as potential trade for interesting things; not really worth it to sell. May or may not have the following mods:

- baffle front: single piece dynamat and felt

- baffle rear: mass loaded tungsten putty

- baffle vent: sealed

- cups: acoustic foam, velour, cotton

- cup vents: micropore

- cup & baffle: sprayed with rubber for damping and better seal

- headband: leather strap under the rubber

- probably others; lots similar to BMF's mods

- sound is competitive to the Mad Dog to my ears

AKG K240M (sold)

- pads are worn, but otherwise in good condition

Audio Technica ATH-706 Electret (gone)

- the transformer is quite heavy, please keep that in mind for shipping

picked these up thinking I might transplant ortho drivers into them, but they sound too nice to rip apart

they are slightly modded (easily reversible) with some putty to stabalize the baffle and improve the isolation

Creative HQ-1900 (gone)

Box was only opened to try them on. Very light and foldable, relatively large earpads for a supraaural, rather neutral frequency response, bass surprisingly strong down to 40 Hz and rolls off sharply after that

Pioneer SE-MJ3 (gone)

This box isn't even open. I've tried them on at the store. Fit is very light, typical multi-axis folding, sound is a bit bass/midbass tipped but not overly so, good isolation.

Koss PortaPro (gone)

Grado SR125 (gone)

Audio Technica ANC7b (sold)

comes with box and case and adapters

Sony MDR-V6 (sold)

Shure 440 (gone)

- brand new in box

FiiO e10(gone)

- practically mint, original box and goodies

Shure SRH 940 (gone)

- essentially new

Bottlehead Crack + Speedball + upgraded power cord (gone)

- copper hammertone paint on the plate and bell, wood is stained a dark walnutty colour

- casing has an added layer of foil to block out emi/rfi

- absolutely fantastic pairing with the AKG Sextett (see below)

- loves playing with the high end Sennheisers

- I've built several Bottlehead kits and have other DIY experience so this isn't a "first timer" job here

AKG Sextett MP (gone)

NOS, original box, very few hours, you will be very hard pressed to find one in as nice condition as this one, even the cable is still in the original twist tie and was only unwrapped a few feet for me to listen with

- this pairs incredibly well with the Bottlehead Crack and is easily one of my favourite combinations

Sennheiser HD595 (gone)

- great condition, no box

KRK 8400 (gone)

- great condition, just the headphone, recabled

Digizoid ZO2 (gone)

Bottlehead Smack Kit (gone)

- limited run and no longer available, this amp has impedance switches to change depending on what headphones and sound signatures you want to use

- the kit is untouched except I painted the bell and plate with a copper hammertone (which I think turned out really well)
